[QUOTE="remm, post: 310581, member: 821"] You're correct, both drills burned up were dewalts, and that maybe was the issue but that's what I already had batteries for, they did warranty the drills but that doesn't help much if it burns up when you're on the ice trying to fish. I was happy with the setup for thin ice, just didn't work well in my hands with thicker ice. I know a couple people after using my strikemaster last year on DL and up in big windy that have IONs sitting in the garage and bought strikemasters. As ahab said, there is much more torque, even with an extension or 2 on, it pulls you right through the ice. I never seemed to get quite the battery life out of them that they claim but that goes for anything so no matter what you get you'll probably want at least 1 extra if you like to move around and drill more than 4 holes a day. Another thing that helps with battery life is making sure your blades are sharp, dull blades suck a lot of juice. [/QUOTE]
